A Whole New Level of Uneasiness?
Try boredom.
I'm stubborn so I'm sticking with the show until the end, but most weeks it's dim and dim-witted. Latest complaint: Balthar has never said one word to be convincing as a messiah, and the response to him seems like a mid-afternoon crowd at a mall book store author signing. It's all fake, fake, fake. As is the endless vague gassing about "the gods" and "the one god." Week-in and week-out, it feels like a rough draft that the writers never bothered to fill in. The show may cost a lot, but its scripts are no longer even half as witty, entertaining, and filled with character depth as Torchwood (which in addition has a cool bisexual vibe).
